The new measures aim put more control into the hands of parents. Accou nts accounts belonging to anyone under the age of 18 are made private by default. Now, if someone under 16 wants to make an account public, they have to add a parent to approve it, and that perak will be able to see who they message which topics they follow. Notifications will be muted overnight, and yo
